High frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) is an airway clearance technique that loosens mucus by applying vibrations at different frequencies to the chest wall via a wearable vest. How does HFCWO work? HFCWO devices typically consist of an inflatable vest, connected by hoses to an external generator, that delivers percussion to the chest wall. Rapid and repeating pulses of positive air pressure gently oscillate (squeeze and release) the chest to facilitate mucus clearance.
A hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network is a telecommunication technology in which optical fiber cable and coaxial cable are used in different portions of a network to carry broadband content (such as video, data, and voice). Scientific Atlanta offers a Hybrid Fiber/Coax Tutorial. 2  Characteristics of Coaxial Cables in Hybrid Fiber Coax Systems is a slide presentation by Douglas L. Stromberg. 3  Visit SearchNetworking.com for more information on hybrid fiber coaxial networks.
